The last and the first …

… Words about the Word: Esolen’s “In the Beginning. . .”  (Hat tip, Dave Lull.)

A strong case is being made here that the Prologue is nothing less than a miracle: the most important 310 words ever written. Surely John’s mind and hand were guided by the Holy Spirit. And Esolen’s case is bolstered by inclusion of wisdom from Venerable Bede, Dante Alighieri, George Herbert, John Milton, John Wesley, C.S. Lewis, and J.R.R. Tolkien among others, especially in each chapter’s epigram.
